There are durable and consistent NFL players who come to work every day and then there is Malcolm Jenkins, a player that exemplifies exactly why the Eagles continue to defy the odds.
Jenkins is an Eagles captain and leader, so when his work ethic gets matched by his teammates, that franchise can never be counted out.
The Eagles safety once again played all of the team’s defensive snaps (1,034) for a second straight season.
Jenkins plays on special teams as well and over the past two seasons, has logged 2,420 consecutive defensive snaps. That’s an incredible stat and speaks to Jenkins never getting nicked up, bogged down by nagging injuries or needing to come out of the game for rest.
He’s deserving of a new contract and his durability definitely can’t be the reason for not paying him.
